Born 1963 in Gföhl, AustriaLives and works in Bowling Green (Ohio)

Untitled (cracks), two-part, 2004

Mixed media on paper

120 x 89 cm each

Erwin Redl's oeuvre is a reflection on artistic positions in the
face of our experience with the digital world. It includes
installations, CD-ROMs, electronic music, drawings, paintings. His
preferred medium is light, which he directs according to strict
rules inspired by computer code. His large-scale light
installations, which also involve the viewer as an actor, transform
architectural space into a realm of light and colour.

"Cracks", his work on paper, is also dictated by the laws and
interactions of different media. Redl applied a layer of white
emulsion paint to paper prepared with a coloured ground.
Inevitably, the drying paint developed shrinkage cracks, which
produced a brightly coloured web-like structure that penetrates the
overlying white.
